“It is only when we have the courage to face things exactly as they are without any self-deception or illusion, that a light will develop out of events by which the path to success may be recognized.” -I Ching

The 8th planet on Integrated Practices Kabbalah structure is Neptune; the Illusion, the Maya of perception. This can pertain to anyone’s beliefs or paradigm of reality. The question posed here is, “Can you look into the mirror of your Self directly, without blinking, and see what is really there?”

The exercise that Shadow-work requires is that of unflinching honesty.

To look in the mirror of the Self with compassion, from a non-ego position of the higher self requires courage to see clearly and find the inner strength to rise above self-judgement and to then make adjustments or integration based on Spirit-led guidance.
